I would go over EVERY inch of the head, esp. twards the back or front and look
for one more bolt that you might of missed. If you have any deep grease
buildup, poke around to see if its hiding a bolt head. Every time I have had a
head that I can not pry loose, there has been a missed bolt. I would be REAL
sure before applying brute force iffin I were you.

Subject: MGB B-Series Swaps
While MGB's used the same basic engine through the years, there are some
important differences when swapping. I'm trying to get it all straight, in
one place.
1st, the main question at the moment, then I'll try to get more of the
details sorted out for future use:
When fitting an engine from a later (Black bumper) MGB into a chrome
bumper car, will the later engine fit using the later mounts & brackets, or
does an earlier front engine plate have to be used, along with its brackets
and mounts?
I think I know the answer, but I can hope...
In general:
1) There are 3 different drive shaft lengths, depending on 3 or 4 syncro,
and OD or not. This is pretty clear.
2) Transmission pilot bushing diameter is smaller on 3 main engines (And
maybe All 3 syncro trannys?)
3) Engine rear plate may need to be changed when changing between 3 and 3
syncro trannys. ????
4) The tranny tunnel needs to be enlarged to fit a 4 syncro tranny in an
earlier car, due to the shifter being moved back about 4 inches on the
later tranny.
5) Transmission mounts changed a couple of times.
6) Engine mounts & brackets changed to round plates on 75 and up.
7) Earlier engines don't have the mounts for alternators.
